  1. Daphnis, 'twas thou bad'st yoke to Bacchus' car
  2. armenian tigresses, lead on the pomp
  3. of revellers, and with tender foliage wreathe
  4. the bending spear-wands. As to trees the vine
  5. is crown of glory, as to vines the grape,
  6. bulls to the herd, to fruitful fields the corn,
  7. so the one glory of thine own art thou.
  8. When the Fates took thee hence, then Pales' self,
  9. and even Apollo, left the country lone.
